Computed from 16 days of tracking since 28 Aug 2026 — figures marked not yet need more history than we have and are withheld rather than estimated. Every figure here is adjusted for distributions: a fund that pays out sees its NAV drop by the amount paid, which is not a loss to anyone holding it.

HBL Equity Fund — NAV, returns and charges
HBL Equity Fund is priced at Rs 233.9590 per unit as at 12 October 2026. That is the most recent valuation MUFAP has published for it. We hold only 17 daily observations for it, which is too short a run to measure risk from.

MUFAP publishes each window on its own basis — short periods are annualised for money market and income funds — so the shorter figure is not a slice of the three years one. These are the manager's published figures, net of the fund's own expenses but before any sales load you pay to enter or leave.
HBL Equity Fund charges a front-end load of 0.00% when you buy. The back-end or contingent load is 0.00%. The total expense ratio year to date is 5.24%, which is already taken out of the returns above. The management fee inside that is 3.00%.

Distribution history
Cash or bonus units the fund has paid out per unit, newest first.
| Ex-date | Per unit (Rs) | Ex-NAV (Rs) | % of NAV |
|---|---|---|---|
| 28 Jun 2024 | 4.1500 | 121.3922 | 3.31% |
On an ex-date the NAV falls by roughly the amount distributed. That is a transfer, not a loss — the cash left the fund and went to unit holders.

Is HBL Equity Fund Shariah compliant?
No. MUFAP classifies HBL Equity Fund under Equity, which is a conventional category rather than a Shariah-screened one. Most managers offer an Islamic equivalent alongside their conventional funds, and those are listed separately under the Shariah categories.

What does it cost to invest in HBL Equity Fund?
For HBL Equity Fund, the published front-end load is 0.00%, the back-end or contingent load is 0.00% and the total expense ratio is 5.24%, already deducted from the returns shown. A load is charged on the money you put in or take out; the expense ratio is charged inside the fund and is why a published return is lower than the gross return on what it holds.
